The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded a $503,000 Project Grant to the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to study the roles of RNA modifications in regulating responses to abiotic stresses like drought and heat in cereal crops. The project aims to identify novel regulatory mechanisms and new targets for improving drought and heat tolerance in crops like sorghum, maize, rice,...
The University of California, Riverside received a $180,000 Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program. The three-year award will support research examining the genetic regulatory networks controlling the development of suberized transport barriers in rice root cells, which show plasticity in response to water stress. Understanding these networks...
This $249,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds the development of computational and experimental tools to engineer gene expression in rice. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award supports a postdoctoral fellowship held by David Ding at the University of California, Berkeley from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The fellow will create a pipeline to understand regulatory mutations in plants at scale, coupled with high-throughput experimental assays. A...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $921,054 supports research to develop new biological functions through engineering plant hormone receptors. Led by the Regents of the University of California, Riverside under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the project engineers plant sensors to recognize pharmaceuticals and dietary molecules. It then uses these sensors to design "sentinel cells" that indicate molecule presence through color changes. Specifically, the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $1,384,257 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The grant funding will support a research project focused on understanding the mechanisms of nutrient sensing and homeostasis in plants. Key objectives include identifying the pathways by which plants respond to low potassium and high magnesium levels, and how...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $759,465 in funding to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research on the molecular mechanisms of stomatal CO2 signal transduction in plants. The research aims to identify proteins and genes of a recently discovered CO2 sensor in order to determine the cellular signaling processes through which carbon dioxide regulates plant water loss and CO2 intake. The...
The Regents of the University of California at Riverside were awarded a $3,125,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The grant period runs from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2025. The grant supports research titled "Adapting Crops to a Harsh Environment: Interplay between Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi, Drought Stress and Plasticity of Plant Architecture." The research aims to advance understanding of how arbuscular...
This $180,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research by the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to identify and re-engineer genes involved in environmental stress tolerance in plants. The goal is to cultivate higher-yielding, climate-resilient crop varieties that can sustainably meet the food demands of a growing...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $115,172 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct collaborative research on soybean's response to phosphate and iron deficiency. The objective is to use quantitative phosphoproteomics to unravel the signaling pathways underlying soybean's sensing and immediate response to these nutrient stresses. This research aims to help develop soybean...
The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded $206,971 to the University of California, Merced under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The four-year project grant will support collaborative research to harness adaptive genetic variation in drought resistance strategies to manage plant populations under climate change. Researchers will characterize how genetic variation acts through regulatory networks to adaptively tune organismal...
